Prideful Eagles

Since I am performing a set about anything related to Black History Month today, I decided to come up with a new work on what Black History Month means to me, and this is the awesomeness I have conjured. Enjoy!


It was the day that plenty of us have hungered for…
The sweet taste of freedom
Where dreams soar like bald eagles taking pride on its tree!

Miles and miles of hard work, poured towards the ideal future we've invested years working towards…
Starting with one voice and blossoming towards unity!

To begin, our ancestors branded the beginnings of the books by fighting adversity… of being rejected for personal qualities only seen on the outside…
They were forced onto plantations… working from dusk til dawn doing back breaking chores for pennies… or even nothing!
As the years floated along, society continued its path towards wanting to purge and/or cage what it considered “wrong”
Meaning that people who don’t possess a perfect peach skin tone shall be forced into enslavement and treated as animals… or even annihilated…
But they will never go down without a fight…
Because there is no such concept as defeat!

During these long episodes of being confined behind fences, singing triumphant harmonies possessing rhythmic virtuoso to tell the story of strength and how the underdogs will continue marching onward until they hear the sound of emancipation echoing upon the unlatch of the gate…
Where the animals can evolve into humans and begin experiencing the meaning of a dream…
Freeing themselves from the bottom like kittens evolving into lions they shall fight for what’s right and work their way into the food chain…
Now, they have risen to the top…
Mr. Current U.S. President, whose skin radiates of beautiful dark tones is now the head of our nation!

Ultimately, the main goal is to be able to receive these unalienable rights we were all promised upon entering this world, and if they are ever taken away or tampered upon, we shall be that bald eagle perched upon the tree, fly free, and emerge victorious!
